Dogs are fun and social creatures, but their skills are not all instinctual and are often learned. Start training as soon as is advisable when dogs are puppies, and get them socialized to other dogs and humans especially, to avoid behavioral problems down the line.

Dogs make great, loving pets and there are many different breeds to suit any lifestyle or personality. Look to animal shelters and rescue agencies or reputable, licensed dog breeders when deciding to purchase your first puppy.

Dogs are active creatures by nature and different toys and play things can add fun and variety to their daily routines. They also often require products, such as food dishes, grooming tools and carriers or cages, to maintain optimal health and care.
